Hicks - "I Have No Problem With Rafa"

[enema of the state]

it should be Rafa, you know, the guy who coaches and trains the team, sets them up tactically and physically and mentally. Not Hicks who as Mr Young said, is undermining the manager giving his reasons as to why we lost.

is correct

directors should shut their mouths and sign the cheques...thats one thing that remains true since shankly carved it in stone.

the guy is american, hes coming from a different world and thats not how things are in the fickle, commerciality of a US sports franchise.

hell learn...or hell have to if he wants to make money on his investment

[Neil Young]

.......i'll vouch for him. Always thought he was a **** anyway!!!!!!!! Only joshing mates, nice to talk with anyone who escaped Dunkworld!

On another point, funny isnt it that some people here will slag G&H for talking about footy when they allegedly have no knowledge of the game, but will quite happily disscus multi-million pound takeovers and such as if they were all experts in thier field.

AFII?

[Neil Young]

I've got to back bazza up here. Hicks had absolutely no business on criticising the teams performance in the press. He may aswell just have come out and told Rafa to motivate his players better.

[Neil Young]

No matter what the Yanks say people will always pick holes in their comments and focus on the negatives. It's irritating beyond belief. Why aren't people focusing on his more positive comments regarding how he intimated that there are no problems between him and Rafa and the press made it up?

...Because his statements are internally inconsistent. Internal inconsistency suggests he's lying, either to us alone or to himself as well.

I realise you find this all rather irritating but how do you resolve the paradox of him claiming to have complete confidence in Rafa and yet opining that the players lacked confidence against Man United, given that it's the manager's job to motivate the team and inculcate a sense of self-belief?

Btw, I find it rather irritating that an LFC Chairman is busy promoting himself in the media at the possible expense of intra-club harmony. Does that not bother you?

I'm with the bald headed boxing loving Irishman on this, its time for the yanks to shut the **** up and get on with the job..........back the manager, sort out the stadium and let the good times roll

Yes it does. I wish both him and Rafa would shut the f**k up and deal with their issues in private.

Rafa should stop going to the media too. He has done this too often in the past, it was kinda taking the piss going on the way he did, especially after the Athens post match conference, but obviously, I do think Rafa was right in what he was thinking, just went about expressing himself in the wrong way, should have been behind closed doors.
Hicks though, has a hell of alot of learning to do.

I agree with this lovely gentleman

And that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside

There is absolutely nothing wrong with what Hicks said and he called the United game spot on without a doubt.

I agree his assessment was brutally honest whether he should tell all and sundry is a different matter.

Do you actually read anyone else's comments or are you just so intent on posting your "thoughts" that you don't bother?

You need to ask that question.
